Water comes from the City of Franklin Water Management Department, with part of the supply treated through the Harpeth Valley Utility District. Your water bill confirms which one serves your address.
Franklin pulls from the Cumberland River system. The city also treats Cumberland-sourced water through Harpeth Valley and its own plant.
Yes. Franklin is reported to have the hardest municipal water in Tennessee, around 7.9 grains per gallon, thanks to the Nashville Basin limestone underneath it. Our free in-home water test will give you a better idea of your home’s specific hardness level.
Most likely, yes. At the hardness levels reported here, scale buildup, spotty glassware, and worn-out appliances are common. We’ll test your water and walk you through the data. No pressure, just answers.
Franklin’s systems meet EPA and TDEC standards and publish yearly water quality reports. BUT even if it’s technically safe to drink, there can still be harmful chemicals present that go beyond recommended health guidelines. This is where a whole-home filter comes in. We’ll help you find the best solution for your home’s needs.
In Franklin, homes are almost entirely on municipal water. But the rural stretches around them, out toward Leiper’s Fork, Arrington, and College Grove, have plenty of private wells. Well owners look after their own water and often need softening plus iron, sulfur, sediment, and bacteria treatment. We offer free quality tests and have solutions for wells, too.
Limescale, the calcium and magnesium left behind when hard water evaporates or heats. With Franklin’s water among the hardest in the state, it piles up fast in water heaters, dishwashers, and on fixtures. A whole-home softener keeps limescale at bay.
At Family Water Treatment, filtration solutions typically range from $3,000-$7,000 depending on your home’s needs and recommended system.
